Heisman Power Rankings 2011: Luck is One Win Away from the Trophy

Heisman Power Rankings 2011: Luck is One Win Away from the Trophy

Andrew Luck [Stanford] Luck had an average Andrew Luck game last week, completing 20/30 for 206 yards and three touchdowns despite a depleted receiver corps. Two of the touchdowns came within the last three minutes of the third quarter to ice the game. If Stanford beats Oregon, lock this up.

Trent Richardson [Alabama] Richardson was the one offensive player who matched up in the defensive stalemate. His 28 touches for 169 hard fought yards were extremely impressive. He needed a touchdown and a win to pass Luck though. With Alabama in all likelihood an afterthought, it will be hard for him to climb back up.

Kellen Moore [Boise State] Moore now has a 46-2 career record a starter, setting the NCAA record for wins. His one career loss in regulation was a 17-16 loss to TCU in a bowl game when he was a freshman. Limited tools, but flawless in the deployment of them.

Brandon Weeden [Oklahoma State] Credit where credit is due. He threw for 500 yards and four touchdowns winning a shootout with Kansas State. The Cowboys are an Oklahoma win away from the BCS Title Game.

Case Keenum [Houston] Yes, UAB stinks. However, 39/44 for 400-plus yards and four total touchdowns is impressive against anyone. Through nine games, 3,626 yards, 74.1 percent completion percentage, 34 touchdowns to just three picks.

Who was the last Heisman winner to have played as weak a schedule as Luck has played this year?

Won’t be that weak after a finish of Oregon, Cal and Notre Dame with the possibility of the Pac12 Championship game vs. ASU.

Probably Reggie Bush or Matt Leinart. The Pac 10 was brutal for a while there.

Somebody tell them Sandusky is locked up, it’s ok.

Yah, but unlike most SEC teams, USC schedules pretty tough out of conference. I know during the NC year, they opened up with Va. Tech in DC and they always play Notre Dame, which for as shitty as they have been, is always a tough game.

I like SD as well, that Tech game is messing with my mind….

I just don’t think that Oakland will be able to score with San Diego at home. I am not all that sure about Ga. Tech, but in the series, it seems like the home team usually prevails and I think Va. Tech is their usual overrated selves.
